This important event is a celebration of Hispanic organizations, as fifteen of the leading national groups join together to amplify the Latino impact in the 2016 Presidential elections. It will be an evening of star power as celebrities and musical entertainers join forces with the nation’s political leaders.
“HITN is proud to be a lead sponsor of the Latinos Unidos; Leading America event. We recognize Latinos have an important role in this presidential election and are committed to being a partner that Latinos across the country can count on for all the information and resources needed to make an informed decision – just as we did with our 2016: Tu Momento educational campaign.” stated Mike Nieves, President and CEO of HITN.

The network will continue to cover the electoral process with a variety of live and detailed coverage through Election Day in November.
